World Stocks Are Oversold

The US stock markets have been on a tear this year, with the S&P 500 up about 30%.

However, world stocks have lagged in performance, and are currently over-sold. Over-sold is a somewhat ill-defined term, and in this context means the price of a stock is selling at less than 1 standard deviation below it’s 50 day moving average. Stocks that are oversold are more likely to undergo mean reversion, and the prices will increase.
